Chapter 80 Quidditch Selection

"Book? Can you two think of a better idea to deceive me?" Ada felt that her IQ was insulted.

Although the package in Fred's hand looked square and somewhat like a book, Ada still had doubts. She felt that the contents inside would not be that simple.

"Stop... Ada, stop..." George stood in front of Fred and asked Fred to put things away quickly.

Fred also felt a little regretful now. What book was he talking about? This was so good. Ada became even more suspicious.

"Shh... don't grab it, why don't you let me tell you?" Fred said, thinking of a way in his mind.

Ada didn't grab it anymore, but sat back in the armchair and waited for the twins to make up a passable excuse.

"There are really books in this..." George was also thinking quickly and came up with a suitable solution.

Ada pointed at the twins with her finger and said, "I ask you to make up a reliable reason. What is in it? How could you two make a book so mysterious?"

"It's really a book!" George continued, "The kind you can't read!" His voice was very low for the second half of the sentence. Only the three of them could hear it. It was not easy to spread this kind of thing around. , the noise the three people had just made had attracted the attention of others.

"George is right, this kind of book... is not suitable for you to read..." Fred helped George explain in a low voice.

The words had been left here, and the twins felt that Ada should be embarrassed to snatch them from them again. In order to prevent Ada from grabbing this bag of things, the twins suffered a big loss.

The blush that the twins expected did not appear on Ada, but she didn't rush to see it anymore.

Ada said: "You two said so...I won't ask what's inside..."

"It's just that I can't tell you now. You'll know in two days." The twins said together. Although they didn't deceive them, at least they achieved their goal.

Ada and the twins waved their hands and planned to go back to sleep. The twins also breathed a sigh of relief. When they were about to return to the dormitory, they were stopped by Ada who had returned.

"Wait a minute, I almost forgot about my business when I was interrupted by you. The Quidditch tryouts are open for registration and will officially start next Friday. You two should not get into trouble recently. We can wait until later to talk about anything."

After saying this, Ada left directly without looking at the depressed expressions on the twins' faces. Fred and George looked at the tightly packed "book", shook their heads and sighed, and walked back to the dormitory dejectedly.

First-year flying lessons and Quidditch registration for each college started almost at the same time. Looking at the students in the library holding books related to flying, Ada felt like she saw herself a year ago.

On the Friday afternoon of the second week of school, the weather was sunny and windy, which was perfect for Quidditch tryouts.

The twins, Angelina, and Aaliyah were still emotionally stable. They had always been confident in themselves, but Lee Jordan's nervousness was already written on his face. He had been like this since the morning. Ada and the twins tried to comfort him, but to no avail.

The group arrived quite early, so the twins could take Lee Jordan for a lap to warm up and relieve his mood. Katie Bell was so jealous that she also wanted to ride a broomstick and fly over the court.

The half of the court closest to the castle was filled with Gryffindor students, and the other side was filled with Hufflepuff students. Because it rained heavily on the day of Hufflepuff's selection, their selection was only halfway through, so they had to share the court with Gryffindor today.

On the Hufflepuff half of the court, a boy was flying in the sky. He was flying so well that many Gryffindor students also exclaimed.

After squinting for a long time, Ada realized that the boy was Cedric Diggory. Not only was he at the same level as Ada, but his home was also in St. Catchpole Village.

Ada had a pretty good impression of him. Cedric's grades are very good. His grades in the final exam last school year were only behind Ada's. He was also the first one to help his classmates in potions class last week.

Cedric is very handsome and has a good personality. He is very popular among the girls in the school. Many girls are waiting for him to grow up. But if you think he only has female friends, you are wrong. Cedric is also very popular among the boys in the school.

There were gradually more people on the court, and everyone participating in the selection had arrived. Captain Charlie and Oliver Wood began to arrange for everyone to be selected in batches.

The first thing to do is the basic test. Charlie divides the people who apply to join the team into groups and lets them fly around the playground, first eliminating the applicants who don't fly well.

After that, Charlie began to test the players according to their duties and select the best among the best.

The first is the chaser position, among which Angelina and Aaliyah performed best. Charlie started to pay attention to the two of them last year, and he would take them with him during Gryffindor training in the second half of the school year. It was just that they were young at the time, so they were not recruited into the team.

Charlie spoke quietly to Oliver Wood, who nodded while holding a book to record something.

Angelina and Aaliyah, who performed well, returned to their friends and high-fived their friends to celebrate. Lee Jordan's performance was not very good, but he was not too disappointed. Instead, he felt relieved.

Then came the test of the goalkeeper position, and Oliver Wood performed well and successfully kept his main position. Wood is tall and serious in his work. He always repeats a sentence during training, "Either win or die on the court."

This year Wood was promoted to the position of vice-captain by Professor McGonagall, and Charlie was also very satisfied with his successor. It would be better if his character could be a little softer.

Fred and George left their friends with a smile and rode on their broomsticks to participate in the selection of batters. Charlie knew the level of his two younger brothers, so he acted very relaxed. The two of them were basically sure of the batsman position, and the selection was just a formality.

When the selection of the batsmen had just ended, the captain of Hufflepuff came over with Cedric and had a few words with Charlie. Charlie was a little jealous of the Hufflepuff captain for finding such an excellent seeker. He had known Cedric much longer than the Hufflepuffs.

Fred and George stood next to Ada and said, "Charlie likes that Cedric very much. He is really good at Quidditch."

"Good study and good character." Angelina said.

"He has a good personality and is willing to help others." Alia also praised Cedric, "Now also add Quidditch, he is really a great boy."

"He's very handsome too!" Katie Bell muttered in a low voice. No one expected such a sentence to come out of her mouth. When the chasers were first selected, Katie Bell also went. She performed well, and Charlie specifically told Wood to pay more attention to her in the future.

Fred snapped his fingers in front of the three nymphomaniac girls and said, "Hey! Girls, wake up, he and we will be enemies from now on, put away your nymphomaniac ways!"

"Digory is just a little boy, good at looking but useless. We will definitely defeat them when the official competition comes!" Lee Jordan was also very dissatisfied. The look in Angelina's eyes at Cedric made him a little agitated. envy.

After showing off with Charlie, the Hufflepuff captain led the players out of the stadium, but Cedric walked towards the twins and Ada.

"Fred, George!" Cedric greeted the twins, "I heard that you also passed the test. You must be merciful during the official competition!"

The twins nodded with a smile. To the twins, Cedric was someone else's child, and they did not want to become good friends with Cedric.

Several classmates chatted for a while, and Cedric kept smiling during the chat, looking very sunny.

After losing to Ada in the final exam last semester, Cedric wanted to be friends with Ada, but he never had the chance. During the chat just now, Ada didn't say a word, so he had to take the initiative to talk to Ada.

Cedric smiled at Ada and asked, "Can I call you Ada like Fred and George?"

"Let's call her Esmeralda!" For some reason, George felt a sense of crisis in his heart, so he directly replied on Ada's behalf.
